Fallen Leaf Campground – États-Unis

A great lake for a Summer dip with cool, crystal clear water. Not as crowded as Lake Tahoe but just across the street basically. Beaches are pebble and not sand but I don’t mind that. The campground is large with a camp store, clean, warm showers ($1 for 3 min), get tokens at kiosk outside camp store, and flush toilets. Sites vary, some very large and private, others closer together and less private but all larger than average. Water spigots can be a bit of a hike from some sites. Very quiet during our stay. Our site also backed up to a stream and the sound of flowing water could be heard from the site. One of my favorite campgrounds. No dump station but some nearby. I believe $10 parking for day use well worth it if you don’t camp here, saw many park on the road to the campground and hike in for free.

Overall, Fallen Leaf is one of the best options to explore the South Lake Tahoe area if you don't need hook-ups. The park is so big though with really challenging roads that it's important to pick the right spot. The best things about the park are its proximity to South Lake Tahoe (about a ten minute drive), the cost, and the vastness which allows you to really enjoy the setting. Plan your visit knowing that there are no water or dump stations in the park and you'll need four quarters to use the three minute shower. Dog's Perspective: you have to be careful walking on the narrow roads but if you're up for about about a mile roundtrip walk, there's a nice path to the edge of Fallen Leaf Lake where many dogs enjoy playing in the warm water. Runner's Rave: there are a few trails within the campground you can access for a run including a road to the south side of Fallen Leaf Lake just be wary of cars as there are many spots of poor visibility. Downsides: much of the interior road is buckled, bumpy, and narrow which makes for a difficult trip with your RV. We were also crammed into a back-in spot that was too narrow for our travel trailer (22') and pick-up truck. The rest of our site was pretty spacious so the space could've been laid out better. We saw a variety of sites throughout the campground from many ones similar to ours to a few that were much bigger, wider ones so be thoughtful with the spot you pick. AT&T is stronger than Verizon here but neither had consistent coverage. Overall, Fallen Leaf is a really scenic park that's a good value in the South Lake Tahoe area.

we stayed here just one night after four nights and a long drive from yosemite. We wish we could have spent more time here as it had so much to offer, however they were booked solid the next day. This place is especially busy on the weekends in the summer. A decent intermediate level mountain bike single track is very closeby. However, watch out for the bears as I came upon a family of three or four. I didn't stick around to count. We did a family bike ride up towards south Lake Tahoe. Great path that was kid friendly. Our site was a bit small to back into. We had a 25 ft class C. We wouldn't be able to fit our New airstream in this spot. They had plenty of other sites if you can find availability.

My family and I have camped here many times over the last decade. It's well maintained, but it is very busy during the peak season. You're not stacked on top of each other like a lot of the campgrounds around the Lake Tahoe area. This is one of the better ones. (In context, this is one of the better options for the Lake Tahoe area, since most campgrounds are packed and each site is very close to each other. This campground gives you reasonable space.) The facilities are good and cleaned every morning. This is primarily dry camping, but water is easily accessible. The roads are well kept, but there are some narrow and bumpy spots. Bear activity tends to be more toward the end of the season (Fall), but if you're not responsible, expect to have a visitor, especially if you're by the creek (West side of the campground). This campground is on the North side of Fallen Leaf Lake and can easily be walked from your site. It is also in close proximity to all the major places in South Lake Tahoe or even Reno, NV if you want to venture farther. We have personally not had any issues with noise, but you have to put that in context, as the busier it is, the likelihood of experiencing noise will be higher. It's guaranteed you're going to hear pots and pans clanking at night when people are being irresponsible with storing their food. Use the supplied bear boxes!

It was a standard CA state campground filled with burners looking to decompress after Burning Man. The campground was ok. Lots of bear scares though. Mostly I think of the yellow jackets who stung me in the first hour. They were everywhere. And it had zero cell service which was frustrating being so close to Tahoe. We did enjoy the Fallen Leaf lake and the proximity to good mountain biking. The road into the park is a terrible patch work of asphalt that will rattle everything in the RV. Another down side was the bathrooms and showers were very dirty. I watched the host mop one and rinse the mop in the water access point. No soap or mop bucket.
